Tech sch.

Answer:

INST

Hint:

Think of a short, common abbreviation for a place focused on higher education in technology.

Explanation:

"Tech sch." is short for "technology school," which is often abbreviated as "institute" in academic settings. The answer "INST" comes from truncating "institute" to its first four letters, a common crossword trick for fitting shorter answers. Think of places like MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) where "Inst." appears in the name.
